Trailer Unleashed For ‘(Pri)sons,’ The Most Brutal Film To Ever Come Out Of Finland

(Pri)sons, reportedly the most brutal and bloody film ever made in Finland, is giving viewers a glimpse at the action with its first teaser. The film centers on a ragtag group of criminals who must band together to fight for survival when an army of bloodthirsty assassins besieges an underground marketplace of illegal activities. (Pri)sons marks the most ambitious film of director-cinematographer Esa Jussila, who has built a long-lasting career in genre and exploitation underground film. The film deals with organized crime, the degeneration of human beings, and the natural urge to survive. The film is unique because of the amount of violence, special effects, and demanding stunts that all the actors had to perform. “To me, this film is an amalgamation of two genres I hold very dear, those being old school action movies and extreme horror. And I think it’s a genre cocktail that will give the audience some unique thrills. I essentially aimed to produce a big

But when one of the guests is murdered, it is up to the former detective to uncover the killer again.” “It’s a supernatural world where the normal rules do not apply,” Branagh told Variety. “Murders and ghosts are irresistible to a man with that mustache and that nose for sniffing other culprits.” A Haunting in Venice is now available on VUDU from 20th Century Studios.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: THE WATERHOUSE and MARIA (FrightFest Halloween)

The Waterhouse (U.K., 2023) Writer/director Samuel Clemens’ The Waterhouse boasts mesmerizing sound design, captivating visuals, and a satisfyingly eerie, enigmatic tone. Thieves Eric (Alan Calton), Matt (Dominic Vulliamy), and Paul (Michelangelo Fortuzzi) have stolen a painting, the profits from which could make them rich. There’s a problem, though, as Matt’s mother Denice (Corrine Wicks), who helped with the heist, is missing, and when Eric finds blood and an object that could give rise to something going wrong, he keeps the information to himself. The trio is holed up in an isolated house on the beach and suspicion rises among them.

Game Review: ‘Stray Souls’

Happy Halloween! Nothing better to celebrate it than with a spooky game, am I right? Well, that was what I was hoping for with Jukai Studio’s and Versus Evil’s Stray Souls, a horror survival that I’ve been excited about since I was first told about it. I appreciate Jukai and Versus Evil for allowing this reviewing opportunity but, I’m sorry to say that this was a rough one to get through. Let’s get the positive parts of the game out of the way first. The soundtrack is possibly the selling point for the game with famed gaming composer Akira Yamaoka on board. The only issue is that while playing Stray Souls, I was able to make out at least two songs that were done by him, causing me to wonder if he only did a couple of songs for this game. Unfortunately, as a whole, Stray Souls was rough to play. The game had a lot of potential but in
